One can only hope that he did survive the war---but the lack of formal discharge suggests that he might not have survived. I do hope that he did, though.Angela Y.

He was administratively discharged on May 1, 1865, as a result of the end of the war, with no resolution of his PoW status. Not sure what became of him, and that&#39;s troublesome.Tigonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02403375780071923928noreply@blogger.com
